Pres. Gral. Óscar D. Gestido Binational Airport (RVY/SURV) is a medium regional airport serving the twin border cities of Rivera, Uruguay, and Santana do Livramento, Brazil.

It primarily supports general aviation and limited regional operations rather than large-scale commercial traffic.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal is small with limited services, so carry Uruguayan pesos or Brazilian reais for immediate needs and don't rely on the airport for meals, shopping, or late-night transport.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and remises are the most practical way to reach Rivera's center; agree on the fare or use a trusted app if available. For Santana do Livramento, the border is very close, but allow extra time for customs and immigration checks. Public buses generally do not serve the terminal directly, so arrange a transfer in advance.
